Hajia Fati’s lawyer complained that the Plaintiff’s middle name had been wrongly spelt and that she provided her office rather than residential address.

Lawyer Effah-Darteh enumerated a list of issues on which ground he thought the suit should be dismissed. He said his client used “would” in a number of the paragraphs of her suit.

He maintained that since 'would' conveyed a future tense rather than what had already happened, the suit disclosed no reasonable cause of action and must be dismissed.

The judge reportedly asked him several questions and he eventually and rather embarrassingly admitted his application was wrong.
